“Sara does a tremendous job dog watching! She routinely goes above and beyond. She was instrumental on helping my dog with a little accident. She made me feel safe and responsive.”
“Sara took great care of our girls. She made sure they got all their meds, plenty of outdoor time, while also dealing with some tummy upset. Our house and girls were clean, happy, and rested on our return.”
“Adrianne did a great job looking after our girl. She communicates well during the visit, she left our home clean, and overall you can tell she takes her responsibility to care for our dog and home seriously. Would recommend working with her!”
“Joshua did a great job with my 2 dogs, and 11 month old Dalmation puppy, and a 7 year old Hungarian Pumi. He went above and beyond when I did not arrive home when I told him I would be there...( flight delays) Joshua stayed until 1:30 am to make sure the dogs would be OK . The dogs really seemed to enjoy him and were sorry to see him go! I can highly recommend him!”
“Baylee did a fantastic job watching my 2 dogs for a few days! Both dogs have feeding schedules and take medications and she followed everything to a T! I received lots of photos and a video, each time my dogs were very happy! When I came back from my trip, my house was in great order. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Emily did a great job caring for our girls Colbie and Hazel. She sent us lots of messages and videos over the few days, and seemed to genuinely enjoy the dogs. No issues at all -- a great find!”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I started pet sitting at ten years old and absolutely fell in love with providing quality care to other's fur-babies! I have extensive experience in petsitting cats and dogs of all sizes and ages from puppies/kittens to seniors. I have experience with administering medications, as well as experience with dogs with disabilities who just need a little extra TLC! I adore caring for these babies whether it be through walking, playing, or just getting in some snuggles! I am currently a college student with class only on Mondays and Wednesdays, so I have plenty of time during the week and weekend to provide care! I like to start my mornings early, but I can also be a night owl, so I am very flexible with time and am happy to help when I am needed. Although I am in college and cannot provide care in my home, I am more than happy to come over and care for the pets in a clients home! I am fully aware of the fact a new visitor can be nerve wracking or stressful for some pets, so I always take it slow and make sure that your baby is 100% comfortable. All pets are different and some take more time to warm up than others, so I am very patient and perfectly happy to meet your pet where they are. :)
About: I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and am the mom to a very energetic and sweet pit bull. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets during getaways, so I will communicate as much as you like and make sure your fur baby is treated with the utmost care and love. I work a standard 8–5 schedule, but I’m excited to care for your pet during evenings or weekends! I’m based in Savannah and happy to travel to surrounding areas to provide excellent care. I will follow all instructions to ensure your pet has the best possible experience in my care. I will treat them as I would my own dog and take every necessary precaution to keep them safe.
About: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember. I have worked in veterinary clinics since I was 12. I also believe dogs are our greatest gifts. I have always taken in special needs pups if I can. My last two had cerebellar hypoplasia and lived to be 16 and 17 yo. I work part time as a therapist and love being around animals. It is healing and rewarding for me. I also enjoy walks and being outside so it’s a win. I will treat your family with the love and warmth I give my own. My goal is to keep them happy, healthy and safe. My years of experience with many breeds, sizes, and species give me a strong foundation of care and ongoing expertise.
About: Hi! I’m a student at SCAD and also on the equestrian team, so I spend a lot of time around animals. I have trained my families boxer and Boston terrier and I have my own Shih tzu. I love pets of all shapes and sizes and I’m comfortable with just about anything. I’d love to give your dog a fun walk and add a little extra happiness to their day! I am involved in athletics and class but I have availability most weekdays after 3pm. I can also make most weekends work except for a few due to traveling for show. I always make safety and comfort the top priority. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, keep things tidy, and make sure pets feel secure in their own space. On walks, I use safe routes, pay close attention to surroundings, and never rush a pet beyond what they’re comfortable with. I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, care, and plenty of love.
About: I have taken care of dogs for many years as well as had dogs in the home my whole life! I love to love on them and make them feel comfortable while you’re away! Open to working around schedules! Can be around and available so just let me know what you are wanting and I’m sure we can figure it out! I will follow any specific/special directions the client needs and give them extra love while their human is away! Lots of play and potty breaks!
About: I grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes and in my adult life have lived with two adorable kitties for years now. I look forward to giving your furry children plenty of love, attention, and exercise - whatever’s needed! Pet care fits into my daily afternoon schedule because of the flexibility my job provides. I’m available to walk your dog in the afternoon/night or check on your cats to make sure they’re good to go! In my home our two cats (Garbo and Ziggy) are always being asked if they’re good boys and getting lots of pets and kisses and cuddles to make sure they’re know they’re as special as they are
About: I've taken care of dogs for 3 years; I have owned dogs myself in the past and began pet sitting when I was 15, and I care for all breeds and sizes. I have trained two of my own dogs in the past: a long-haired Chihuahua and a Labrador retriever. I care for all dogs and pets as if they were my own. Pets are extensions of our bloodline, and I truly understand that. *Important - I am a College student who switches between Miami, Florida and Georgia* • Miami: November 21st - January 1st May 28th - September 12th • Georgia: September 13th - November 19th January 3rd - May 26th I'm currently a College student, and I fit in pet-sitting between my classes and during my weekends. At my school, we have Fridays off so I have a full weekend to have time to care for pets! I currently live in a dorm room with roommates on my college campus, so I am not offering pet services at my house at this moment due to space.
“Natalie was wonderful!! Helped us out in a pinch and took excellent care of all FOUR of our animals, including surprising one of our pups with a birthday cookie :). Very grateful and can’t wait to have her back soon!”
“We met with Carl and immediately liked his infectious and outgoing personality. He was very responsive setting up the meet and greet and while we were away. I personally would have preferred a few more daily pictures, but when I asked, he sent them right away so I felt at ease! Dealing with hurricane damage and several days without power as a result of the storm caused a lot of anxiety as it was just days before our trip. However, Carl was great in maintaining communication in the days leading up to our booking! When we got home, the house was clean, smelled great, guest bedding washed, and the girls had plenty of water! We will definitely be reaching out to Carl again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
About: I've had over four years of pet & housesitting experience. I am comfortable with all breeds and their needs, and always do my best to keep them comfortable while you're away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow specific instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, or anything else your pet may need. I work in office Monday-Thursday 9:00-5:00 and 9:00-1:00 on Fridays. Outside of work, my schedule is open, so I can be with your pet frequently throughout the day. Caring for your pets and home is very important to me and I want you to feel comfortable leaving your pets in my care. If possible, I like to schedule time to meet your pet ahead of time so we can get acquainted and I can fully understand their needs and routine. I send photos/updates while you're away so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make you and your pet happy!
“Kiersten took care of our 10 week old puppy whom we were hesitant to leave for a beach day. She responded quickly to a last minute booking and took excellent care of our puppy as well as our Suite and immediately put us at ease. Highly recommend and will be booking again in the future for our next Savannah visit.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Montgomery is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $67 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Montgomery walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Montgomery maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Montgomery choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
